The OpenClaw Foundation is officially in operation, and Tencent and OpenAI are among the first partners with Nvidia and Microsoft

Comparative news, according to monitoring, the open source personal AI agent project OpenClaw announced that its non-profit foundation, the OpenClaw Foundation, is officially in operation. OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant running on a user's own device. It can connect to email, calendar, chat tools, and local apps, and let AI complete tasks directly for users. The Foundation will be responsible for the governance, funding, community, and long-term maintenance of OpenClaw to ensure that the project remains open source and independent. Officially, OpenClaw will still maintain the MIT license. Peter Steinberger will continue to be responsible for the direction of the project, particularly technical decisions. OpenAI also promises to support OpenClaw running as an open standalone project. The first partners include OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft, University of Michigan, GitHub, Cloudflare, Vercel, and more. The Chinese company Tencent is also on the list, mainly involved in security, deployment, and infrastructure-related support.
